Honestly USC should be able to do a lot better than him
It’s a destination job. Viewing their hires over the years mocks the contention by some on here that all you have to do is throw money to land an elite coach. Their best hire was a Herman Edwards type...before Herman Edwards. Timing and luck gets you a Saban or Meyer...not throwing money until they can’t say no. That gets you a washed up Chip Kelly.

I think they would go after Campbell before anyone else............................and maybe Moorehead if Campbell tells them no
Moorehead is a cult hero up there...and he’d stay.

I’ll laugh my ass off of Franklin leaves, it will be hilarious as a Vol in PA.

They can’t say I didn’t warn them

He isnt leaving penn State. He is close to getting it rolling there. Coaches have been trained by their agents to next to never deny interest in any coaching vacancy. Best way to yearly renegotiate more to your current deal.

Weather. Southern California vs Happy Valley.

Recruiting. Southern California vs Happy Valley.

I think he bolts if given the chance.

If USC offers him the job, I think he absolutely goes. I think the thrill is gone in Happy Valley a little bit. He had great years in 2016 and 2017 with McSorley/Barkley, but they're both gone beginning next year. They've underachieved this year; lotta people thought they could win that division and they have 3 conference losses, and he's the kind of guy who doesn't put roots down somewhere. His showy, arrogant attitude fits in perfectly in SoCal too.

Also, you see his response to a question on the weekly conference call if he'll be back next year? It wasn't exactly convincing, to say the least. Spoken like a guy who already has one foot out the door.

There are only a couple jobs more attractive than USC. The program, the recruiting, and lack of competition. It’s a dream job right now.

Call it what you want but its the truth. Enlighten me on your theory please.

There is no theory. People keep on making the excuse for Leavh as to why no big time school will hire him. Its always the same. His personality wont fly with big money boosters. Its a crock. If the guy is that good of a coach, then his personality would be irrelevant.

Penn State should go after Schiano. He is right next door,, has head coaching experience, and PSU ties.
